    Things Said At The Gaming Table - Share Yours!!

    Here are a couple more. We've been keeping a set of rules, sayings and -isms over the last 18 years of gaming and friendship. Many are be amusing, more than a few are offensive but all are tied to a bond developed by four foolish lads in love with RPGs, the annual trek to GenCon and the...

    I need ideas for my character.

    You might also want to check out Power Lunge (S&F, I believe) as well. It isn't any kind of a huge damage hound, but it is an interesting flavor add for those wacky charging barbarians, rushing into the fight.

    I need ideas for my character.

    I would certainly stick with reach weapons and Combat Reflexes. I have a 6/5 Fighter/Barb in our campaign and he is a total room sweeper - of course he also has a bad case of the cleaves - both regular and great. High dex helps quite a bit. To me playing a character like this, having mobility...

    When were you hooked?

    For me, it was 1982 and I was on a boy scout outing in Northern Wisconsin. It rained non-stop for the first three days, which was a total drag.

    WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

    I agree with GE. I have never submitted for something like this, though I have been gaming for 18 years. I really had a great time with this. I think it was just a great exercise in getting everyone to think about what they love most in the games they play and the homeworlds and backstreet...

    WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

    Absolutely, Mercule! It's an ongoing process. You have to love writing and creating more than you enjoy bashing yourself. Keep writing and eventually you'll find something good, whether in yourself or in your writing. Though mainstream success would be very satisfying, if joy doesn't flow...

    WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

    That's the joy and sorrow of writing for a living, I expect. It can be a very personal experience and you have to make sure that you seperate that on the back end but keep it on the front end. That's one of the reasons why many writers are a little off, occasionally have difficulty dealing...

    WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

    It has been my experience that most good writers are adequate typists. That comes with experience. The more you write, the more familiar you are with the keyboard. What takes time is phrasing and editing. As Storm Raven already stated, familiarity with your proposed setting and the vision...
